World Event Trading / Wiley Trading Series (PDF)

In an age of twenty-four-hour news coverage and cutting-edge
technology, world events dominate our lives and impact the
financial markets. From hurricanes to the war in Iraq, we exist in
a crazy, connect-the-dot planet. However, the well-prepared
investor can turn these events into profits. All they need is the
ability to recognize the consistent characteristics of these events
and the vision to build a strategy or portfolio that can take
advantage of these situations when they begin to unfold.

As a foreign exchange strategist with over twenty years of
financial experience, author Andrew Busch knows what it takes to
make it in today's dynamic market. And now, with World
Event Trading, he wants to show you how.

Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, this practical
guide examines three categories of world events--infectious
diseases, natural disasters, and politics--and provides
hands-on strategies for trading profitably on each. Using actual
examples of the war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and other recent
"page one stories," Busch shows you how to understand all-important
market moods and anticipate profitable trades. He also reveals
little-known details on legendary event-driven trading successes,
illustrating how any trader can repeat them in different market
environments.
